I don't know if I'm contributing anything new but this is my experience.

I've got the GM965/GL960 [8086:2a02] (rev 0c) on my laptop.

I've been experiencing frequent freezes, always while using compiz.

Loose binding seemed to make things better, but there were terrible wrong renderings, such as no menu highlighting.

When turning on reflection plug-in the freeze was almost instantaneous.

I tried many things such as rolling back to the latest Intrepid Ibex display drivers and trying UXA with greedy. It didn't help.

Following compiz troubleshooting wiki I then tried

LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 INTEL_BATCH=1 compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --sm-disable ccp &

and option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true" in my xorg.conf and nothing else.

This made things better. I tested it with reflection plugin on and it took a long time to freeze. I opened lots of nautilus windows, alt tabed, faded to desktop for several minutes and nothing happened. Only after I thought it wouldn't be freezing after all, I opened a terminal and typed a command and it freezed.
